A boy leads a strange, lost creature home. And a group of peaceful creatures loses their home to cruel invaders. Three stories, written and illustrated by Shaun Tan, about how we lose and find what matters most to us. Never widely available in the U.S., these tales are presented in their entirety with new artwork and author's notes. Review: Brilliant! - Tan's The Arrival captivated me utterly. Then I saw "The Lost Thing" animated (and well deserving of its Oscar nomination), and was charmed all over again. Not only was it Tan at his best, it was a story I hadn't heard of. And, as with McKean's MirrorMask , it was a beautiful rendering of something I wouldn't have believed could be animated well. Naturally, I had to hunt it down. The hunt was well worth the effort. All three of the stories here were new to me (other than the animated adaptation of one). "The Red Tree" speaks to the down day that anyone might have, cast in rich and surreal imagery, and with a bright spot right where it's needed most. "The Lost Thing" carries its quirky charm in a way that defies easy explanation, but with a warm sense of reminiscence about chance meetings and transitory friendships. "The Rabbits" takes the most political tone, but still tells a good story. In fact, I have only one problem with this book: getting it back from my wife who was even more taken by it, and convincing her not to give my copy to other people sure to enjoy it. -- wiredweird Review: The artwork is worth the price alone - There are three short stories in this book from Shaun Tan...but to be honest I don't buy Shaun Tan books for the written words, I buy them because he is an amazing out of this world artist. The written words are secondary and the pictures and images within carry the book and will blow your mind with their power. The first story is a simple one, but oh so powerful. It tells of a young girl, much like any that you might meet in everyday life (perhaps even yourself) struggling with the world around her. She's buffeted and rocked out about by the powers of the world and at one point has to hang onto a raft in a raging sea till she makes it home worn out and at the end...and there before her is a red tree. Growing out of her floor bright and vibrant with the power to change the world. I say the words are secondary because you can look at the images and feel the power of the story without them. Shaun Tan takes illustration to a new level as he grabs hold of you at the first panel and doesn't let go. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #190,603 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #98 in Magical Fantasy Fiction for Children (Books) #2,446 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) #5,233 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 246 Reviews | ## Images ![Lost & Found: Three by Shaun Tan (Lost and Found Omnibus) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XOFfMofFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant! *by W***D on March 12, 2011* Tan's The Arrival captivated me utterly.

Elegant = Simple and Unique. With the mix of illustrations and so-well chosen words it's touching and memorable, ready to be read again and again and still be affecting. My wife's a commerical illustrator and fine ceramic artist and she says it is pure and perfect and universal. I'm a retired writer and I say it's remarkable and I wish I thought of it and the other books in this emerging genre. Go to Tales From Outer Suburbia , also done by Shaun Tan and you'll find links to other artist/writers who will convey what's in store for you. Such books are generally aimed at children, but have been acclaimed by adults. Behind their simplicity and beauty you'll find surprising of depths and universal insights. Whether it's for your kids or your coffee table, it'll be welcomed and raved about by all who encounter it; most everything in these new wave art/prose books will charm and edify. I became an instant fan; I'll bet you will be too. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1678677-lost-and-found-three-by-shaun-tan-lost-and-found](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1678677-lost-and-found-three-by-shaun-tan-lost-and-found) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
